Hab. Whitsunday Island. — This singular and interesting plant may probably be the Lithospermum in- 

 canum, Forst. ; but we nowhere find it remarked as having a fruit separable into five nuts, a character almost 

 at variance with the Roragineas, to which Order, nevertheless, our plant undoubtedly belongs.
